The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision to set aside the Deputy Registrar's orders dated 23rd June 1980 and 8th August 1980 concerning the East End Apartment Co-operative Housing Society Ltd. The Court emphasized that the Registrar of Co-operative Societies must hear the objections of members regarding their inclusion before finalizing any orders, as mandated by the West Bengal Co-operative Societies Act, 1973. The Court affirmed that due process must be followed in determining membership and managing committee appointments, thereby ensuring fair representation.
